MESSAGES FROM MY MAIL BOX
John Schahfer ...
Hi Connie
I just talked to Marilyn Schahfer and she asked me to forward the
following:
The current plan is to take John home on Monday (9/18) or as
soon as Hospice can make arrangements. There is no improvement and two
doctors have advised her that this is the right course of action. She does
have family and friends that will be with her, but she knows that John would
want to go home and maybe she can get some rest there.
She would appreciate you putting this in the next Stars and she knows
our prayers and thoughts are with her during this time.
Thanks,
** Joan Kershner

Hot Dog!!!
PLEASURE AT THE PUMP? Don't sell that SUV just yet,
advises Forbes. Oil, at a recent $66.50 a barrel, will fall to $45 by mid
2007 and could dip briefly into the 20s in 2008. Sometime next year, we
are going to see a $1.95 price on a gas pump, says the magazine. At least
that's the view of Michael C. Lynch, president of Strategic Energy &
Economic Research in Amherst, Mass. And he swears he hasn't been inhaling
fumes. Lynch argues that the threat of disruptions--nuclear brinkmanship,
war, terrorism, hurricanes, pipeline corrosion--has larded oil prices with
a $20-a-barrel risk premium. As these perils recede, oil prices will fall.
(Page 98, Forbes, Oct. 2) Also in this issue: If you have a brand, it
better have a smell (P. 76).

Remember when? Takes some of us back awhile! ...
"School days, school days, good old golden rule days"
The Boston Latin School was the first public School in America,
established in 1635. Benjamin Franklin, Samuel Adams, and John Hancock are
just a few who once attended. There is a plaque on the sidewalk marking the
site of the school. We had a great time reminiscing with our Residents and
staff about their school days memories.
Mary Ann was 5 when she started 1st grade in Townsend. She attended a
one room school house with 11 other kids and 1 teacher. Mary Ann remembers
playing Pom Pom Pullaway and Tag at recess.
Mons also attended a 1 room school house with about 9 students in the
1st through 8th grades with 1 teacher. His school sat on a hill so at
recess there was no baseball, but he also played Pom Pom Pullaway. He was 7
when he started school in Teigen, Montana.
Palmer has great memories of his school. He went to a 1 room school and
had 1 teacher who taught 1st through 8th grades. He had to go across the
road to get water from the well and use the outhouse. Palmer remembers
walking about 1-1/2 miles. There were about 22 kids in his school. Palmer
was 6 and started school in Eldorado Township, North Dakota. At recess,
Palmer played Pom Pom Pullaway and Hide and Go Seek. There were no hot
lunches back then so Palmer carried his lunch in a gallon Karo syrup tin.
Our Administrator, Deb remembers starting school in Johnsville, Ohio at
6 years of age. Deb rode the bus a long distance to school. There were
about 100 kids in her school. At recess, Deb enjoyed beating up on the boys
and kissing them. She also remembers playing on the monkey bars, and
playing Kickball.
Our Office Manager, Marcy started school at the age of 6 in Sheridan,
Wyoming. There were about 180 kids in her school. Marcy walked about 3
blocks to get to class. At recess, Marcy played Tether Ball, Four Square
and Crack the Whip.
Petty, in the Housekeeping Department, started school at the age of 5 in
Butte, MT. Peggy remembers many tears and not wanting her Mom to leave
her. Peggy lived close to the school and her Mom walked with her everyday.
Peggy's school had about 80 kids and at recess Peggy played on the swings,
played Hop Scotch and Jump Rope.
Dorothy remembers starting school at the age of 6 in a bigger school in
Deer Lodge, Montana. Dorothy rode a bus 7 miles to school. She can
remember playing Hop Scotch and playing on the Swings.
Clancy was 5 when he started school in a 1 room schoolhouse with 1
teacher in North Dakota. Clancy remembers about 20 other students being
there. Together they enjoyed playing baseball. Clancy walked about 2
blocks to school.
Willi started school in Havre, Montana at the age of 6. Willi went to a
bigger school with different rooms and teachers for each grade. Willi
enjoyed playing baseball and later playing basketball. Willi walked 1/2
block to get to school.
Mary rode her horse about 2 miles to school in Willard, Montana. Mary
started school at the age of 5. She remembers about 25 kids in her school.
It was a 2 story building with one teacher on each floor. At recess, Mary
checked on her horse.
Lucy walked 1-1/2 blocks to Jefferson school in Helena, Montana. She
was 6 years old when she started school, and enjoyed playing on the rings at
recess.

MINUTE MAN AWARDS
WGM Joanne Clark is honoring the Masons at
the Official Visits this year. She is selecting a Mason from a list given
to her form the Worthy Matrons of each Chapter. They will be called the
"Minuteman" to go along with her patriotic theme. To qualify for the award,
the Mason must be a 10 year member of Eastern Star, have served as Worthy
Patron in the Chapter, and been active in the Chapter. The pins are
beautiful and were purchased from Dave Hattrick of ID, now residing for a
spell in AZ.
So let's give these outstanding Masons some
credit for all their work they do for our beautiful Order! I will need some
help here so please let me know who has been given this award in your
Chapter during the Official Visit.

FDA Spinach Ban Continues
NewsEmergency.com
9/19/2006
UPDATE: FDA Statement on
Foodborne E. coli O157:H7 Outbreak in Spinach Consumer Advice
FDA advises consumers not to eat fresh spinach or fresh spinach-containing
products until further notice.
If individuals believe they may have experienced symptoms of illness after
consuming fresh spinach or fresh spinach-containing products, FDA recommends
that they seek medical advice.
Case Reports
To date, 114 cases of illness due to E. coli infection have been reported
to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), including 18 cases of
Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS), 60 hospitalizations, and one death. Illnesses
continue to be reported to CDC. This is considered to be an ongoing
investigation.
States Affected
There are now 21 confirmed states: California, Connecticut, Idaho,
Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New
Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Utah, Virginia, Washington,
Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
Symptoms of E. coli O157:H7 Illness
E. coli O157:H7 causes diarrhea,
often with bloody stools. Although most healthy adults can recover completely
within a week, some people can develop a form of kidney failure called HUS.
HUS is most likely to occur in young children and the elderly. The condition
can lead to serious kidney damage and even death.
Two Recalls
On September 17, 2006, River Ranch, of
Salinas, California, announced a recall of packages of spring mix containing
spinach. River Ranch obtained bulk spring mix containing spinach from Natural
Selections. The following brands are involved: Fresh N' Easy Spring Mix and
Hy-Vee Spring mix containing baby spinach, distributed to retailers in Texas,
Iowa and New Mexico. Product was packed in 5 oz. bags and 5 oz. plastic trays.
Products that do not contain spinach are not part of this recall.
On September 15, 2006, Natural
Selections Foods, LLC, of San Juan Bautista, California, announced a recall of
all of its products containing spinach in all brands they pack with "Best if
Used by Dates" of August 17, 2006 through October 1, 2006. These products
include spinach and any salad with spinach in a blend, both retail and food
service products. Products that do not contain spinach are not part of this
recall.
Natural Selections Foods, LLC brands include: Natural
Selections Foods, Pride of San Juan, Earthbound Farm, Bellissima, Dole, Rave
Spinach, Emeril, Sysco, O Organic, Fresh Point, River Ranch, Superior,
Nature's Basket, Pro-Mark, Compliments, Trader Joe's, Ready Pac, Jansal
Valley, Cheney Brothers, Coastline, D'Arrigo Brothers, Green Harvest, Mann,
Mills Family Farm, Premium Fresh, Snoboy, The Farmer's Market, Tanimura &
Antle, President's Choice, Cross Valley, and Riverside Farms.
The affected products were also

have been reported. FDA continues to investigate whether other companies and
brands are involved.

SMALL QUIZ ...
Our friend, MW Bill R. Wood sent me this
quiz ... and I must say! I didn't do too well answering the questions. Must
have been a day when my mind was bogged with other issues!!! Anyway ... try
your skill. Answers after my signature!
The following short quiz consists of 4 questions and will tell you
whether you are qualified to be a professional. The questions are NOT that
difficult. But don't look at the answers UNTIL you have answered them all
1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?
2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?
3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the
animals attend... except one. Which animal does not attend?
4. There is a river you must cross but it is used by crocodiles, and you
do not have a boat. How do you manage it?
LOWRY'S HINTS
HINT 1: Dusting
Made Easy: To create a dust cloth that leaves a shine, soak your normal dust
cloth in a mixture of two cups water, two tablespoons vinegar and four
drops lemon oil. Once the cloth is soaked through, remove it and wring it out,
then store it in a glass jar with a lid until you want to use it.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
HINT 2: Make sure that you have a way of reaching those
hard-to-reach places by having on hand a yardstick, broom handle or even a
hockey stick. Simply put
a sock on the end of any of these, and wipe those corners and moldings.
* * * * * *

HINT 3: Red wine on carpet or fabric: Immediately cover
the stain liberally with club soda. For carpets, you can also rub with
waterless hand cleaner. In either case, if the stain persists, dab it with
hydrogen peroxide and rinse with cold water. If all else fails, try cream
of tartar paste.
Crayon/marker on tile and floors: To remove from tiled walls or vinyl
surfaces, apply a little toothpaste and rub with a soft cloth. Persistent
scuff-marks on linoleum can often be removed by rubbing them with
toothpaste.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
HINT 4: Tea and coffee: On fabric, spray with hairspray,
then rub with a bar of soap and rinse in cold water. Ketchup: On carpet,
first dab away as much as possible, being careful not to work the stain
deeper into the carpet. Cover the area with a liberal amount of regular
(foamy) shaving cream and rub vigorously with a sponge. When you wipe away
the excess, the stain should go too.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
HINT 5: No need to buy an expensive espresso machine to
make steamed milk for your morning latte. Just heat milk on the stovetop for
a short amount of time.
Remove the milk from the heat and beat with an electric mixer until foamy.
